Are You A Lasik Eye Surgery Candidate

Find out if You are a LASIK candidate ?

Determining your candidacy for LASIK is one of the most important parts of the process. We take your candidacy very seriously and provide a thorough free LASIK exam to find out if LASIK is right for you and, if so, which treatment option will give you the best outcome.

At Joffe, we love helping patients reach 20/20 vision through Custom LASIK eye surgery. Unfortunately, there is a small percentage of people for whom LASIK is not a good option because of the anatomy of their eye and current vision condition. We are proud to say that we take your LASIK candidacy very seriously and thoroughly screen for any issue that may cause complications. If you aren’t a good medical candidate, we will be 100% straight-forward and honest with our medical recommendation. Your current eye condition, occupation, leisure activities, age and personal expectations all help to determine whether you are a good candidate for Joffe Custom LASIK. During your free LASIK exam, we will take many measurements of your eyes to determine if LASIK is a good option for you, and if so, which laser will give you the best results.

All-Laser LASIK refers to a customized treatment plan that utilizes the femtosecond laser for creating the flap), and an excimer laser for reshaping the cornea.

The ideal LASIK candidate:

Has nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism

Is over 18 years old and in good general health

Has had stable vision for at least six months

Has a healthy cornea thick enough for a corneal flap

Does not have a disease or condition that could impair the procedure or healing process

Has been educated about the procedure including its risks and benefits

Understands that the goal of surgery is to improve vision and reduce dependence on glasses and contact lenses

Please note, LASIK, as with any medical procedure, cannot be guaranteed and results will vary by individual. However, in a recent study of treated patients, over 70% had vision better than 20/20. If you are over 40, please ask us about our Blended Vision procedure, and the opportunity to free yourself of reading glasses.

We encourage you to schedule your free LASIK exam today to discuss your candidacy and how LASIK may work for you. It is important to note that Joffe Custom LASIK eye surgery is highly customized, and your candidacy and treatment options will be developed on an individualized basis.
